Her dad are weak -> all men are weak -> she resent all men -> she resent Ichika -> Ichika proves he's not that weak -> Ichika proves that not all men are weak -> Cecilia like strong men -> Cecilia fell for Ichika

As for Tatenashi, I gave up, might ask someone else. Way too mysterious to guess...

Side note - Sacred Twins Ichika has a considerable chance being one (if he failed to go through the crap that is his teen-hood that is), on the other hand, Canon Ichika isn't, more like a good chance being flawed/whipped dad, but otherwise still a good dad nonetheless.

@ Senpai - Tatenashi's my only problem in both FI and Daydreams. I can gauge why the girls like him, hell, I can even make one for Honne. Tatenashi? I feel like pulling my hair out whenever I have to think of a justifiable reason.

Side note - Would this apply to all the mom's? Charlotte's would probably have him as an awesome dad, not so sure about Chifuyu.

That's why I'm not eager making Tatenashi part of Ichika's supporting Harem. My brain is not good enough to make a motive for her.

Are you kidding? Chifuyu will undoubtedly the worst mom of all heroines, bar Tabane maybe. She might improve with age, still what shown to us so far is A. She act stern to make her kid-figure independent and B. Likes to bet the kid's safety for the sake of experience and improvement. A True shounen mom to the core, which is good in the genre itself, unless you saw it from another angle.

A lackey but otherwise caring and courageous dad like Ichika is a save heaven.

@ Senpai - Is it because he solved her and Kanzashi's sisterly problem? She did blush after that.

Side note - Not all of the kid's like their mom's. Chifuyu's daughter dislikes her and doesn't really talk to her. Laura's resents her for never paying attention to her and putting her Shwarzer hase job first. Kanzashi's male child is somewhat bitter that Kanzashi spends more time with his twin sister than him etc etc. In an odd inversion, the harem ending actually fixes a lot of these problems. Maya convinces Chifuyu not to be so hard on her kid. Chifuyu helps Laura take charge, so she has more time to spend with her kid. And Tatenashi spends time with her nephew in place of Kanzashi if needed.

“Still, you managed to get in. That’s great! Congrats to you!” Says Kiyoka whose seemingly excited about her new schoolmate.

“T-Thanks...” Tsurugi replies with a slight blush and looks over to Inami, who is simply smiling back at her.

“Well, let’s have a toast then, to celebrate her successful enrollment!” Inami exclaims while holding is uncapped bottle of blueberry juice.

“Of course!” Kiyoka cheerily replies as she and Shizune raise their respective drinks.

“Mou… This is embarrassing. Then again…” Tsurugi holds her bottled peach juice and raises it along with Inami as he does the same with his bottle.

The four of them tap their drinks against each other.

“Toast!” They collectively exclaim then proceeds to drink their respective drinks.

“Aah! That felt great!” Says Inami just as he finishes up his bottle.

Completely awed by the impromptu celebration, Tsurugi slides her hand under the table and onto his, holding them firmly.

“Thank you so much… All of you!” She says to them while trying to hide her blushing face.

“Not every day do we get to do this. It’s our pleasure!” Kiyoka says to her while Shizune nods.

“Still… What about you, Arisawa-kun?” She abruptly asks, catching him by surprise.

“Me?”

“Uh-huh! What brings you here? Are you part of the security trooper team?”

“Well... umm… Something like that… yeah.”

From analytical standpoint that is Tropers, Tatenashi hasn't this crucial point being a member of Ichika's harem: Being head over hells about him. From another standpoint however: there's a lot of moment that shown she's interested in him, which can be counted as shiptease.

It goes both way, the Tropers just follow the major point, but not completely dismiss the secondary point.

Side note - making sure that person is this person you think. This is the same thing Chifuyu thought about Josh.

Changed the dialogue abit such that Tsurugi lets the cat out of bag concerning his role in the ISA, which is as her personal instructor.

Cue him being asked the dreaded question.... again.

Tatenashi: Potential harem member with good chemistry, not official yet. (Note: does not have any chance in the slightest )

Hmm, well, considering Ichika in that time-line is an adult, Kazuma really can't be sure. Still, there's always emotional attachment and instinct. Children has better fare in those categories, Adults' has been convoluted by rational and prejudice.

@ Stratos - People are gonna question why he's there despite not having an IS. Owning a similar machine doesn't cut it for some.

That too... but that's provided he fails at ninja-ing his way around the Academy without being spotted before the upcoming class league.

EDIT: Nothing you can call it. Many readers would call it the "IS clone", though, since it basically acts like one by sending the OC to the academy despite "not being an IS".

@ Senpai - The only reason I paired her with Irish was I assumed that she wasn't in his harem. Guess she is

Actually, Ichika was only about 17. Kazuma may look 8, but that's because he was spliced to look older. This is what makes him a flawed clone: All the other clones were spliced to adolescence to make sure they were loyal, and rapidly aged so they couldn't go rogue/make offspring. Kazuma was spliced to only 8 and doesn't rapidly age. He also can't pilot an IS. He's about 4-5 years old.

@ Stratos - Focus on Tsurugi more. She's supposed to be the main character here, after all.
